If I could drop everything and go somewhere right now, I would immediately book a flight to southern California, to experience the wildflower super bloom in person. Take a look at some of the photos below that people have shared on Instagram :)

So why is this year so special? Basically, a winter with incredible amounts of rain in the region—following half-a-decade of drought, has brought on a overwhelming, magical, wildflower bloom. The earth responds, she inhales and exhales, surviving through the drought, and offering a celebration of flowers to mark the arrival of the long awaited rains.
